  • "A sheikh funds a psycholinguist's research into the language abilities of a chimp. A chimp who then witnesses a murder."@en
  • "A chimpanzee that is able to communicate with the use of plastic symbols is the sole witness to a murder in a medieval Arab kingdom."
  • "Take a medieval Arab kingdom, add a ruler who wants to update the kingdom's educational facilities, include an English research psycholinguist (an Oxford classmate of the ruler) invited to pursue his work on animal communication, and then add a touch of chaos in Dinah, a chimpanzee who has begun to learn to form coherent sentences with plastic symbols. When a murder is committed in the oil-rich marshes, Dinah is the only witness, and Morris has to go into the marshes to dis-cover the truth."
